I saw this quote floating around on Mastodon:
“People speak of hope as if it is this delicate, ephemeral thing made of whispers and spider’s webs. It’s not. Hope has dirt on her face, blood on her knuckles, the grit of the cobblestones in her hair, and just spat out a tooth as she rises for another go.”
That is to say, hope is not something you fight to protect and shelter. Hope is the fight itself
I absolutely love the Reanimated version of this done as a collab among animators in order to raise money for the Trans Lifeline.
Something about seeing YTP tropes and editing techniques reinterpreted as animations is truly incredible
DaThings is the only true innovator left in the YTP space. Her work is really incredible, and I’m not just referring to the older stuff like Wow It’s Made. All I Want to Beer is the best YTP I’ve ever seen
We need a Lemmy dictionary so someone can finally clarify what people mean when they say “liberal”
Why not both?
Peace is something that must be earned, and the USA has not earned it. Ergo, trans rights via trans wrongs
It’s hard to call it war when the people being killed don’t fight back, I suppose
When someone’s falling hundreds of feet and when they’re inches from the ground a super hero swoops in from the side to grab them.
Sure, they didn’t hit the ground but not only did you catching them slow down their vertical velocity just as fast as the ground would have, now you’ve accelerated them horizontally so fast that they’re now twice as dead as they would’ve been otherwise
Hot take: A New Hope was groundbreaking at the time (and is ordinary by today’s standards), Empire Strikes Back is all-around great, and every other Star Wars piece of media exists simply because of those two reasons.
Thanks to Bladdivan, I’m peein’ right now 😏
